  • 8. Lo Studio Della Giurisprudenza Negli Stati Uniti
    8. Lo studio della Giurisprudenza negli Stati Uniti Programmi di specializzazione post-laurea (Advanced Legal Degrees) Uno degli aspetti peculiari della formazione in giurisprudenza negli States e’ che questa materia si studia solo a livellograduate. Per frequentare un corso di legge negli States uno studente deve gia’essere in possesso di un titolo di laurea di primo livello. I diplomi di laurea in giurisprudenza piu’ comuni negli States sono il Juris Doctor (JD) degree e il Master’s degree in Law(LLM). Il JD e’ il diploma che prelude all’esercizio della professione legale negli Stati Uniti e per questo e’ focalizzato soprattutto sul diritto americano (n.b. Per esercitare la professione legale negli States bisogna prima passare il bar exam e comunque essere in possesso di un visto che autorizzi il lavoro negli States).L’ LLM e’ invece un tipo di diploma che viene generalmente conseguito da chi ha gia’ una formazione legale e vuole specializzarsi in un ramo particolare del diritto come ad esempio International law, comparative law, taxation. A livello di dottorato i due diplomi piu’ importanti sono quelli di Doctor of Jiuridical Science (JSD) e di Doctor of Comparative Law Studies (DCL) che preludono per lo piu’ ad una carriera accademica in senso stretto.

  • The Business Professional Doctorate As an Informing Channel: a Survey and Analysis
    International Journal of Doctoral Studies Volume 4, 2009 The Business Professional Doctorate as an Informing Channel: A Survey and Analysis T. Grandon Gill Uwe Hoppe University of South Florida University of Osnabrueck Tampa, FL, USA Osnabrueck, Germany [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Although growing in popularity in other countries, the business professional doctorate has yet to gain traction in the U.S. Such programs, intended to offer advanced disciplinary and research training to individuals who later plan to apply that training to employment in industry, are fre- quently seen to be inferior to their academically-focused Ph.D. program counterparts. Further- more, if the sole purpose of a doctorate is to develop individuals focused on producing scholarly research articles, that assessment may well be correct. We argue, however, that such a narrowly focused view of the purpose of doctoral programs is self-defeating; by exclusively focusing on scholarly research and writings, we virtually guarantee that our research will never make it into practice. The paper begins by identifying a variety of types of doctoral programs that exist glob- ally and placing these in a conceptual framework. We then present a detailed case study of the information systems (IS) doctoral programs offered in Osnabrueck, Germany—where as many as 90% of candidates choose careers in industry in preference to academia. Finally, we propose— supported using both conceptual arguments drawn from the study of complex informing and ob- served examples—that the greatest benefit of business professional doctorates may be the crea- tion of enduring informing channels between practice and industry.

  • Common Resume Mistakes
    Application Materials Common Resume Mistakes 1. Using Funky Fonts, Colored Paper or Graphics Be conservative in your format. Law is still a fairly conservative profession. Employers may look negatively at your attempt to catch their attention. 2. Using a Font Size That’s Too Small You don’t want your intended audience to have to squint to read your resume. Use 12 pt., 11.5 or 11 pt. font. In some cases you can get away with a 10.5 but avoid it if you can. 3. Multiple-Page Resumes In general, you should keep your resume to one page. Having a lot of experience is a good thing. However, you should always trim your experiences to the ones most relevant to the potential employer. Some special situations require a two-page resume but this is the exception rather than the rule. Hints to getting your resume to one page: ! Trim honors and awards not relevant to legal employers – use the title “Selected Honors” ! Get rid of the Interest Section of the resume if your activities section serves the same purpose of giving some insight into who you are ! Do not list duties you had during jobs legal employers might not find relevant ! Do not list jobs legal employers might not find relevant. This is not a job history. ! Merge Volunteer activities into either Experience or Honors/Activities ! Expand your margins to .8 on top and bottom ! Decrease the size of the spaces between items but not the actual font used for the text. For example, you can make a .4 or .6 space which gives the illusion of a full 10 point space 4.

    PROGRAMS of INSTRUCTION THE DOCTOR OF LAW (J.D.) DEGREE The regular curriculum in the Law School is a three-year (nine-quarter) program leading to the degree of Doctor of Law (J.D.). The program is open to candidates who have received a Bachelor’s degree from an approved college before beginning their study in the Law School and to a limited number of highly qualified students who have completed three years of undergraduate studies but have not received degrees. The Law School will not award Bachelor’s degrees to such candidates, but in some cases undergraduate institutions will treat the first year of law study as ful- filling part of the requirements for their own Bachelor’s degrees. The entering class for the J.D. program is limited to approximately 185 students. All students begin the program during the Autumn Quarter in September. The cal- endar for the academic year is located on the last page of these Announcements. THE JOINT DEGREE PROGRAMS Students may apply for joint degrees with other divisions of the University. The stu- dent must gain acceptance to each degree program separately. The following joint degrees are the most popular: Business: Students can earn both the J.D. and the M.B.A. degrees in four calen- dar years. Students may also pursue a J.D./Ph.D. in conjunction with the Graduate School of Business. History: The Law School and the Department of History offer a joint program leading to the J.D. degree and the Ph.D. degree in history. Economics: Law students may use several courses offered in the Law School’s Law and Economics Program to satisfy course requirements in the Department of Econom- ics for the Ph.D.

  • Are Courses for the JM Degree Taught by the Same Professors Who Teach Courses for the Juris Doctor Degree?
    Why choose Emory Law? Emory Law is a top-ranked law school offering a practical, disciplined approach to the study of law. We are known for: • faculty who are experts in their respective areas of law and dynamic teachers in the classroom • a rigorous curriculum attuned to the needs of the legal profession • countless opportunities for experiential learning through externships, clinics, and simulation course • an environment of support and cooperation that encourages challenging the status quo Are courses for the JM degree taught by the same professors who teach courses for the Juris Doctor degree? The same professors and industry professionals teach all JM courses. More than 60 full-time faculty, along with our adjunct faculty, teach more than 250 courses at Emory Law. Their focus on research means they are not only teaching you the law, they are also actively participating in shaping laws around the world. What is the difference between a Juris Doctor (JD), a Juris Master (JM), and a paralegal degree? A JD degree is a 90-credit-hour degree, also known as a Doctor of Jurisprudence, which prepares students to sit for the Bar Exam and practice law. A JM degree is a 30-credit-hour master’s degree in law. It is intended for individuals who want to learn the laws that govern their profession. JM recipients are not eligible to practice law. No legal standards exist for paralegal education and training requirements. It is not a master’s degree. A paralegal cannot practice law. Can I practice law with a JM degree? No, you cannot practice law with a JM degree.

  • JD Degree Online
    JD Degree Online ACADEMIC PROGRAM The Juris Doctor (JD) program consists of 90 units earned over a three-year (full-time) or four-year (part-time) period. The State Bar of California permits Trinity Law School JD students to earn the entire accredited degree either online, on-campus, or a combination of the two. WHAT WOULD MY SCHEDULE LOOK LIKE? The majority of online Juris Doctor coursework is completed independently by the student. Live sessions via video conferencing are required at specific times. Live sessions ensure that information studied independently is sufficiently comprehended. Law school is demanding, and regular live guidance throughout the JD degree is necessary for future Bar exam success. These live sessions will be held on the first three weeks of class and every other week after that.
